Overview

Relates how to remove contaminants from effluent streams. The book discusses separation of environmental pollutants - enriching, stripping, clarification, benefication, remediation, removal, concentration, purification, and more - and critiques both tried-and-true and newer methods. It covers classical as well as newly emerging means of separating industrial waste and by-products from environmental streams.

E-Stream

The chapters cover chemical and physical separation methods....one unique feature of this book is that it compares the different methods and acts as a guide to choosing an appropriate method, specifically for waste and environmental treatment....recommended for environmental firms, university libraries, and practitioners.

Watson (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) reviews the separation methods most important in solving waste and environmental problems: adsorption and ion exchange, absorption and stripping, membrane processes, leaching/extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, distillation, surface filters, deep bed filters, sedimentation, and precipitation. Each chapter describes a particular separation method, the basis for the separation, some of the more common types of equipment used for the separation method, the principles used in process deign of the equipment, examples where the method can be used, and conditions under which the method is likely to be the most practical. Appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as environmental and chemical engineers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
